5 CABLELEC Conductive Compounds Product Recommendation CABELEC Conductive Guide Compounds Product SELECTION Guide Product Performance and Applications Figure 1: Conductivity Regime CABELEC conductive compounds are manufactured to exacting specifications to ensure reliable performance. They offer numerous advantages over competitive conductive materials such as metals. CABELEC products are: Lightweight Recyclable Easy-to-handle & process Corrosion-resistant ResisTivity ( -cm) Conductivity Regime Insulative Antistatic Dissipative Conductive Materials Neat Polymer Conductive Plastics for ESD The primary application for plastics is the dissipation of static charge to protect against electrical damage, and the application range spans the ESD conductivity regime shown in Figure 1. The end uses include: Electrical & Electronics Industrial Automotive Conductivity (S/cm) = 1/Resistivity (Ω-cm) Metals Processability CABELEC conductive compounds can be processed directly on conventional plastics processing equipment without the need for dilution.
